    Mystery Banty?

    I just got four new Bantams from the local Costal (I believe they supply from Meyers hatchery). I’ve never seen a chick like this before and can’t ID it, I had a similar case with my chicken Petra and she’s an EE so I’m assuming that’s what this little guy is. What’s your guy’s opinion on breed...

    Our new cockerel Lenny - I love him to bits!!!

    Hi all, Thought I’d make a wee post to show off the cockerel I picked up recently - I’m sure he’s a bit of a mutt but I know he’s a bantam of some sort (he’s much smaller than all the hens). I was thinking he could be part silkie because of his feather texture but then again he doesn’t have the...

    Can a bantam silkie rooster rate with a medium sized hen?

    Hi all, Today I picked up a rooster from a lady needing to get rid and I have plans to breed him with some of my girls. I have three in mind - a barred hybrid, a light Sussex and a leghorn. The only issue is the rooster is very small and has been pushed around quite a bit from the bigger hens...

    100% dry hatch or partial dry hatch?

    ive been having problems with chicks both making it to hatching but drowning in the egg and also chicks dying after about day 7-10. i suspect the latter is because i have to open the incubator once a day to refill the humidity since i cant do it from outside. im looking into trying a dry hatch...

    Bantam chick is the only one not growing

    In need of assistance or advice, I have 6 baby chicks and 1 of them is a bantam. She is so small (obviously) but has not grown in the full week I have had her. One of my chicks is growing 10-15 grams a day, but this girl hasn't grown a single gram. She is still at 24 grams. She eats and drinks...

    Rooster with frostbite

    Hi! So my bantam Wyandotte rooster got frostbite over night from getting water on his waddles (he uses a 5 gallon heated water from tractor supply) then freezing.It’s pretty bad (I think… I’ve never had anyone get frostbite before). I think this because they are pretty puffed up. He doesn't mind...

    Possible water belly

    I think one of my old English game bantams has the beginning stages of water belly. Her abdomen looks slightly swollen and feels like it's got water inside. Her cloaca looks bigger than it should. She's acting fine. She's eating and drinking normally, isn't showing any signs of respiratory...
